Do you know about data exchanges in 1C? How do Accounting and ERP exchange data? What types of exchanges do you know?

Data exchange between configurations in 1C (for example, Accounting and ERP) is carried out through data exchange mechanisms, which can be organized in several ways:

• File exchange (XML, JSON): data is exported to a file, which is then imported into another system.
• Shared database exchange: both systems work with a single database or use shared tables.
• Web service exchange: data is transmitted via HTTP(S) using SOAP or REST API.

In particular, between Accounting and ERP, rule-based exchange is often used, where object mappings and regulated synchronization operations are configured. Types of exchanges:

• Regulated exchange — automatic, scheduled, or event-driven.
• Manual exchange — initiated by the user.
• Conflict-controlled exchange — with data conflict checking and resolution.

Such exchange allows maintaining data relevance in both systems, for example, synchronizing directories, documents, and balances.
